Introduction :

Exploration, Production & Processing Russia 2013 (EPP) is organised by the Ministry of Energy of Russia with State Unitary Enterprise “Moskva” and dmg::events as co-organisers.

Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, Exploration Production Processing 2013 will bring together an unprecedented gathering of Russian and international energy leaders, government ministers, regional governors and technology/engineering executives to examine major cooperation and partnership opportunities in the Russian hydrocarbons industry.

Downstream Asia, now incorporating Petrochemical Asia, is the region’s largest conference and exhibition for the downstream refining and petrochemical industries, where the theme for this year is “Enhancing competitiveness through energy efficiency, reliability and cost control.”

The show brings together the key players in the oil & gas, refining and petrochemical industries to discuss business-critical issues including:

Offshore Convention(OC): Indonesia 2013 will be proudly organized by Neoventure Corporation on 4 - 6 September 2013 in Jakarta, Indonesia .

With specific focus on unexplored energy potential in Pakistan and future prospects for regional development, EGO will unite the leading global energy companies and energy capital under one roof, creating an unrivalled marketplace to establish strategic alliances.

Plant shutdowns and turnarounds will always have only one objective; executing timely shutdowns with controlled costs while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. It is a massive undertaking that requires intricate planning and one can never be too prepared. One minor hitch will easily escalate costs and delay shutdown time; bringing huge financial losses. It is imperative that all personnel and departments involved understand their roles and responsibilities well.

The conference continues to grow and has become the foremost forum for debating and exchanging solutions to Africa's energy challenges and focuses

on: African power suppliers; alternative and renewable energies; oil and gas; the legal and regulatory framework, and investment opportunities in African energy projects, to name a few. The exhibition has become a significant market-place for African and international stakeholders doing business in Africa's energy sector.

The inaugural Asia Future Energy Forum and Exhibition (AFEF) and the 2nd Asia Smart Grid (ASG) will bring together nearly 100 notable speakers from international agencies, governments and enterprises to share valuable insights and critical knowledge with delegates from across the energy industry. The conference will cover a variety of sustainable energy topics in Asia, including a track on energy efficiency, facilitated by the European Chamber of Commerce.

The AFEF and ASG show floor will also be a hive of activity. The Innovation Hub, organised in association with Bloomberg New Energy Finance, will showcase upcoming renewable energy projects and connect project developers with financiers. There will also be talks by the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) and the Clean Energy Council Australia, as well as numerous future energy exhibits by local and multinational businesses, including a Singapore Pavilion, supported by Sustainable Energy Association Singapore.

These two events create an ideal networking platform to connect providers of sustainable technologies and services, and smart energy distribution solutions, with buyers from the region. As part of this year’s Singapore International Energy Week, AFEF and ASG are expected to draw some 5,000 qualified trade visitors.

Introduction :

Energy is critical ingredient in supporting economic growth. As Asia positions itself for a period of moderated growth, the region is looking increasingly toward low-carbon, renewable and sustainable alternatives to meet its energy needs. This bullish outlook for Asia’s sustainable energy future is shared by many, including the Asian Development Bank, which has committed to investing $1 billion to energy-efficiency projects in Asia through 2020.

China Decision Markers Consultancy, together with National Energy Administration, SGCC and CSG, will hold the 4th China Smart Grid Forum 2012 (CSGF2012) focusing on the “Strong and Smart Grid Plan” of China.
